I've been seeing fiberglass nails all over the internet lately and I couldn't resist trying them. Nail videos make things look so easy, but then when you try it, it's a big frustrating mess! (acrylic nails for example). I wanted to share my first impression of fiberglass nails, and show you how I applied them.

​You can save so much money doing your own nails. I bet this design would cost at least $60 (maybe more) in a salon. It's cheap, easy and even a beginner can do it. Stop wasting your hard earned money and do it yourself in the comfort of your own home.

​Now that winter is finally over, it's time for some colourful spring designs! It's easier than it looks and you can use whatever colour combination you want. I used the ombre technique, but you could use a solid colour or even glitter as a base and they'd still look stunning.

​If you've ever tried sculpting your own nails you know how time consuming and frustrating it can be. I've tried acrylics, builder gels, poly gels but this is by far the easiest nail extension product I have ever used. It's a brush on gel that goes on like nail polish but has the strength of builder gel. It's painless, odourless, and after trying it, I will never use anything else ever again! Follow along below for an easy step by step tutorial.

I remember how frustrating it was when I first started stamping. Next to acrylic nail extension this was the hardest nail art I've tried so far. There is definitely a learning curve. It was messy, the image was blurred, and I could never get the full image on the stamper no matter how hard I tried. I will save you the hassle and fill you in on what I learned from my many trials and errors. I will add my tips and tricks after the tutorial.

The Christmas season is finally here! A time of giving and joy. The beautiful lights, the yummy baked goodies, but what I enjoy most is spending quality time with my family. I'm sure I'll fit in some time for more nail art tutorials too! What better way to get into the Christmas spirit than these adorable Santa nails. Follow along below!

I am so excited to share this art with you. Since halloween is my favourite nail art season, I couldn't settle on just one tutorial. So this is my first ever mass nail art tutorial! Follow along below for step by step picture tutorials. The only tools I used are dotting tools, a small liner brush and makeup sponges. Check out mynail art essentials post for more details. Some designs require the ombre technique. Check out my postherefor a tutorial.

​Animal print nail art never gets old. You can change the colour to match the season making them a year round go-to for easy art. You'll get compliments everywhere you go! You'll be surprised at how easy it is.

​I tried Finger Paints gel polish for the first time and I've created a monster! Since fall is fast approaching I thought I'd pick a few fall colours, but I finally tried it and now I need it in every colour! With the first coat, I knew I was dumping Gelish and moving on. Sorry not sorry Gelish!

I am obsessed with ombre! I love how the colours blend seamlessly into one another like a colour tug of war on your nails. If you're new to ombre, I recommend starting with 2 colours. You can achieve the trendy ombre look with both regular polish and gel polish. Gel is much easier to work with though as it doesn't set until you cure in a LED or UV lamp. You can play around with it until you're happy or, wipe it off with a lint free wipe and start again. I will start with the gel tutorial since it is my preferred method. There's no mess and you can perfect the gradient before you cure.

Polish perfection takes time, and lots of practice! Especially learning to paint with your non dominant hand. I still make mistakes all the time so don't get discouraged. The good news is, most mistakes can be easily fixed with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover. ​

​I must confess. I have a big secret. One that can only be shared with my loyal readers. Subscribe below to prove your allegiance. Just kidding! (But not really) Ok, I'll give it to ya straight. I have 2 loves. My amazing husband, and.... Duh! Gel polish!

​After a long Canadian winter, it's nice to finally ditch the boots in favour of some strappy sandals. But lemme just say that it doesn't matter how cute the shoes are if your feet are fugly! You know what I mean, jagged nails, uncut, unpolished, and rough dry cracked heels. There is no excuse for fugly toes ladies! Follow along below and defuglify your feet.
